You may remember that last month we told you about expectant downloadable content for Dragon Age: Origins, named Return to Ostagar. Dragon Age’s developer, BioWare, had previously expected to release the DLC for the ‘holidays’, and were pretty vague about when that would be exactly.

Well today they have finally released that date is, and dragon slayers will be able to download the DLC on January 5th, next week. The pricing for Return to Ostagar will be 400 MS Points on Xbox 360 ($5) and 400 BioWare Points on PC. No word on whether Bioware will be pricing the DLC for other obscure forms of currency. Playstation 3 owners can expect the pack later in January, at a price of $4.99.

Return to Ostagar allows players to exact their revenge and embark on a quest for the mighty arms and armor of the once great King Cailan when they revisit Ostagar, the site of the Grey Wardens’ darkest hour, to reclaim the honor and learn the secrets of Ferelden’s fallen king. “We are thrilled at the way the fans have embraced Dragon Age: Origins and we’re excited to welcome them back into the game,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager and Vice President, BioWare Edmonton. “Return to Ostagar represents BioWare’s commitment to providing a steady stream of compelling post release content as we continue to expand the Dragon Age universe.” Return to Ostagar summons players to a new quest in which they will return to the fateful battleground in Ostagar where the Grey Wardens were nearly wiped out. Players will discover King Cailan’s top-secret political agenda and go behind enemy lines to revisit a place that many feared had been lost to history.
